What's the Buzz...
I generally title a blog before I write it. You don't know it, but as I type this one... it's untitled. When you read it I'm sure it will have title... as I think it is required by blogger that all blogs have a title. But as I started this blog, I just wasn't sure what an appropriate title would be.
I have one little bit of news. Nothing special really just a tid-bit which might promote laughter.
Since January when I cut off my long locks for a short stylish hair cut my better half has been nearly begging me to "cut it shorter". Actually a few months ago this request changed to "let me cut it for you". I always thought he was kidding, but persistence showed he was serious.
This past weekend we were camping in Ohio with access to water and electricity and as he needed to be sheared, we took our clippers along for the trip. Sunday afternoon I shaved his head and he trimmed mine up. I was a little tipsy and didn't know what I was doing. I swear.
He ended up just trimming up the sides, to nearly half inch long. My hair wasn't that long to begin with but half inch was a little shocking. Not to mention that his hair cutting skills left me with long tufts of hair over my ears while the rest was neatly trimmed.
I dealt with it... half drunk for the remainder of our weekend, which included Monday.
Tuesday morning I was to be headed back to my truck to start a new round of pick-ups and deliveries. After hearing "let me cut it the rest of the way" or "let me cut it how I want to cut it just once" for pretty much the whole day on Monday and more that fine Tuesday morning I sucked in a huge breath and as I exhaled I said....
"Okay... get the clippers."
Now, at first his creation was going to be just cleaning up what he'd already done to me on Sunday and doing some creative trimming to the top. I looked in the mirror with a fairly disgusted look when I realized it looked like I'd let a 3 yr. old loose with the clippers. I'm sure he meant well... but it didn't look good.
So I told him through pursed lips... "just cut it all off the same length as the back and sides." And he began to take those necessary long swipes from the forehead back. He says I look great.
I looked in the mirror with uncertainty... and for the whole day of Tuesday I felt embarrassed and a little hurt by the fact that I now looked like GI Jane, buzz cut and all.
But lemme tell you what... when Wednesday morning rolled around and I didn't need a hat to cover up my ridiculous bed head... I started to like it a little more. It's definitely going to take some getting used to. And I've been called "sir" at least three times now. But it's not as bad as I felt that it was on day one.
And thankfully my hair grows fast.
Apart from hair adventures nothing much else has been going on. I picked up a load in my home town which took me to Georgia. From Georgia I went to SC and up to MD. I sit in MD right now waiting to make a retarded 1am delivery. I can't sleep... as I should be doing right now. And I know that once I do get some zzz's going... they're gonna come knocking for me to get docked.
But that's how it goes I suppose.

Thanks Kevin and tedybehr... I'm really still trying to get used to it... but can't wait for it to grow out! haha
I cut it really short in Apr 2006 after a crappy perm destroyed it and I've been loving the short look since. Now he wants me to grow it longer and I'm hating the in between stage.
The thing that makes it so nice on you is that you have beautiful eyes and great skin. The only addition I would make? A tiny pair of hoop earrings. (in the ears, my friend. The ears.)

I agree w/ Daily Rant though, you do have gorgoeus eyes, nice skin and a beautiful face. You look great w/ short hair, just not that short, or maybe it is the way you have combed/brushed it. try to spike it, see how it turns out. You could be like that O'conner diet Guru lady.
TripleT: I hadn't combed or brushed the hair in any way actually. My hair is only about 3/4 inch long in that picture... not much you can do with it.
It's starting to grow out a little though, so now I'm dealing with very minor bedhead. But it's gonna do it's thang and I'll end up wearing a ball cap until it's a little longer.
woo hoo.
